the second-oldest profession

Engineering.

The various religious texts record that in the beginning there was chaos, from which a God created the heavens and earth. That's a feat of engineering. God also said "let there be light" and there was light - a task which now universally falls to the electrical engineer.
But why, then, is engineering only the second-oldest profession? The oldest profession is lawyer. Who do you think created all of that chaos?

That skanky woman standing under the street light is probably working in the world's oldest profession.
